Default fence issue with neighbor

Hi I just would love to hear your opinion about this. There is a
fence between our house and neighbor. None of us build the fence. We
bought the houses and the fence was/is there. The neighbor are now
doing waterproof the basement. So they are digging the area close to
fence. They asked me if I will allow them to move the dirt to my
place (just easier than moving to the front of their house). I said
no (I do not want to get all the mess, they are hiring unprofessional
workers and this has been going for 4 weeks. These workers do not
have even the right tools to do the job). Anyway, yesterday we were
away when we came back we saw the fence boards are removed except the
frame and the dirt moved to our backyard! (see pictures below
please).


Some cut.


Tom R's advice seems the most sensible assuming the neighbors are
easy to get along with. You'll have a chance to put up some sort of
replacement boundary marker after the work is done. Even something knee
high and easily removable would serve the purpose.
